Parent Workshops

College Testing: A Special Presentation

November 30, 2017 at 7:00pm in the Mira Costa Auditorium

Please join us for a presentation on college admission testing provided by nationally-recognized speaker Adam Ingersoll. The evolving college admission testing landscape has far-reaching implications, both for public schools and for individual students. Join us to learn how to navigate this intimidating terrain successfully.

Topics of discussion include:

SAT or ACT: Making your best choice

Understanding PSAT scores and what they project

The role of test scores and how they impact college admissions

Why testing policies at colleges vary so widely

Debunking the most pervasive myths about testing and admission

The relevance of Subject Tests at elite colleges

Sane and successful calendaring of testing and test prep

Hallmarks of high-quality test prep and strategies for self-study

This is an excellent learning opportunity for students, parents, teachers and counselors in grades 9-11.

Our speaker comes to us from a nationally recognized test prep company, Compass Education Group, but he will not be presenting his company’s services. All attendees will leave with a richer understanding of the college admission process and a framework for maximizing the student’s success on standardized tests. Attendees will also receive a complimentary copy of Compass’ College Admission Testing Guide, an 80-page resource with all the latest information about this process.
